That the Big 12 isn't nearly as strong as the 'experts' will say that it is. The evidence is all around:
- 1 team winning or sharing title for 12 years in a row.
- Only 2 of 7 (ISU and OU) teams playing to their seed in this tourney.
- Only 1(ku) team with a title in the 20 year history of the Big 12.
- Only 1(OSU) other team in the league has a title since the 50s.
- In my lifetime (1982), only 1 other team in this league has played for a title (OU).
While this league is super competitive and entertaining, it has no claim to 'best' league. The ACC and lingering Big East teams are laughing at us.
